“We would appreciate it if somebody could pay for our stall or sponsor us with charcoal or other ingredients for the boerewors rolls. The funds will be used to pay for rent and other necessities,” said Daniel Melk, director of the home.
The organisation also have issues with transport. “If there’s anyone who would be willing to donate a vehicle to use when we go to church and when we conduct our drug-awareness campaigns or deliver testimonials that would really help.
“We are also appealing to companies in Boksburg to absorb us, even if it’s for skills training or jobs.”
The Victory Outreach Church East Rand, based in Boksburg North, is the umbrella of the men’s home under the leadership of Past Francoise Human and his wife Candice. The home provides a residential Christian environment for the men with a purpose to reclaim, redeem and restore lives that had been disrupted by drugs, alcohol and other substance abuse.
The recovery home is a free service that is supported by contributions from the church and the public. Anyone interested in contributing may contact Daniel on 074 439 2844.
